Expo East Indiaman Götheborg 2.0

Götheborg of Sweden is open for visitors every day throughout the summer! For the first time, you are given the opportunity to gain a deeper insight into the maintenance work on land when we open up the Ships Workshop! Also, visit our new pop-up store, explore a historic exhibition in our Ships Hall and get a guided tour on board the ship.

Expo East Indiaman Götheborg 2.0

From Thursday, 2nd of July, we will be open for visitors daily between 11 AM and 4 PM until Sunday, 16th of August. To spread extra joy and showcase our operations at home, we are now launching the new program “Expo East Indiaman Götheborg 2.0”.

We have created a Pop-up store on our pier that is accessible for everyone. Those who buy an entrance will get a look into our Ships Workshop for the first time ever. Here you will really get to feel the smell of tar. To this, we add a historical exhibition in our Ships Hall where visitors can immerse themselves in the Swedish East India Company's travels to China in the 18th century. We also show a film from our Expedition to China 2005. There will also be the opportunity to touch and feel various items we exhibit over the summer. Last, but not least, all paying guests are offered a guided tour onboard the ship!

Safety and distance are important to us and we are following the guidelines from the authorities. Through careful planning, we have created a flow-through of our premises and ship so that visitors feel safe. There will also be a limited number of 40 people per hour to minimize crowds. Every hour we also offer guided tours in English.

Tickets are purchased through Ticketmaster or on-site at our pop-up store, subject to availability.

Zumba på Ostindiefararen

30 June 2025

Den 17 juli kör vi Zumba®️ på Ostindiefararen! Vi har alltid dansat på skeppet, men nu är det dags att bjuda in Lena Hellmers Eberhard, som kommer att hålla i en dansklass ombord. Så här säger Lena om eventet: "Zumba®️Fitness är en träningsform vilken kombinerar dans och träning med rytmer, från främst latinamerikansk musik som salsa, merengue, reggaeton och cumbia.  Det är en energifylld träning som är rolig och enkel eftersom den känns mer som en dansfest. Zumba®️ Fitness är utformad för att förbättra kondition, styrka och koordination, samtidigt som det ger glädje.  Zumba®️ Fitness är populärt över hela världen och kan anpassas för olika åldersgrupper och träningsnivåer. Har du inte provat så kom till Ostindiefararen Götheborg på Eriksberg, pir 4 där du även kan känna historiens vingslag. Vi börjar kl 17!  Ta med dig vattenflaska och träningsskor och ditt hjärta så dansar vi tillsammans! ALLA kan vara med! Varmt välkomna"

We're looking for volunteers next week!

16 April 2025

Spring is truly here, and we’ve started getting ready to rig all three topmasts. We’re now looking for help with applying tar to the standing rigging. You’re welcome to join us for anything from a full week to just half a day. Unfortunately, we can’t offer accommodation, but we do provide lunch and have work clothes available. Please bring clothes you don’t mind getting dirty to wear underneath, depending on the weather. If you’re interested, please send an email to volunteer@gotheborg.se
